2:59 am

rubyfoo

I really need my sleep but get 7 - 8 hours a night, even if a dog or two awakens me

3:00 am

sprite

good for you to get some exercise. Doing it every day probably will take some building up... start in short sessions and slowly do them more often, maybe.

3:02 am

rubyfoo

When I started in the fall, I could barely do 2 minutes. I've done as much as 14, but can't do it every day now.

8:58 am

Uneaixoise

8:58 am

chrisk

the first ab 8 is the removal of growths by surgery - it can be extended to a 9. The second is the scrape. The words are very similar

8:58 am

MLFAN17

pen oh I thought it was

8:59 am

penquis

oh...i have that already....

9:00 am

penquis

thought that was the first...

9:00 am

origami

is that a quilt in your profile pick chris?

9:00 am

MLFAN17

I don't get it?

9:00 am

chrisk

yes - I did not make it though

9:01 am

dan2bit

stats for the lone I in the right column, anybody?

9:01 am

penquis

there is an ab 6/7/8/9 combo...

9:01 am

origami

9:01 am

MLFAN17

pen is the 6 that goes with that ending in s?

9:02 am

penquis

no...

9:02 am

penquis

ends in a vowel...

9:02 am

chrisk

I enjoy quilting - am doing some projects now with wool appliquÃ© - smaller than quilts and done mostly by hand

9:03 am

MLFAN17

now I have a ab 6/7 combo 7 ending in s

9:04 am

MLFAN17

chris have you done the type of quilting that you use photos ?

9:04 am

penquis

then you should be able to get the 8 and 9....just different endings...

9:05 am

Uneaixoise

ab + not early, then two ab7's -- one plural and one past, then ab8 ending in positive ion, then ab9 plural

9:05 am

MLFAN17

6 7 7 8

9:06 am

penquis

ah....did not have the pt...

9:06 am

chrisk

my husband would say that I don't make quilts - I've pieced together the tops but have not had them quilted yet. So yes, I could make that top. I'm not good at the actual quilting. I tend to think in straight lines so free motion quilting is hard for me.

9:07 am

rururocks

sounds like you don't have the hobby sewn up yet chrisk

9:07 am

MLFAN17

I love to watch quilting shows but as fr actual quilting too time consuming and to precise for me

9:07 am

chrisk

that is worth a groan

9:08 am

rururocks

:D

9:08 am

MLFAN17

plus I don't sew

9:09 am

rururocks

watching quilting shows? do they keep you in stitches with quilting humor?

9:09 am

MLFAN17

not too much no

9:09 am

chrisk

I like to sew - both by hand and machine. Ru - is this going to be a long thread?

9:09 am

penquis

9:10 am

MLFAN17

chris rotfl

9:10 am

MLFAN17

I have a wedding ring patterned quilt that I love

9:11 am

rururocks

sorry penq.. I was just trying to applique some humor

9:11 am

penquis

somewhat pointless, don't you think?... ;o)

9:11 am

MLFAN17

chris do you have a Brother sewing machine?

9:11 am

origami

I like crazy quilts. But am just at the beginning stages of learning.

9:12 am

MLFAN17

penquis

bichon...are you sure you have the first one?

9:14 am

bichon

this is the last ab 8, I don't see a clue for that

9:14 am

penquis

then perhaps there is a third ab 8?

9:14 am

MLFAN17

one ends in dic****ary

9:14 am

Uneaixoise

the last ab8 is a scrape

9:15 am

penquis

i clued the scrape word....that is my second...

9:15 am

Uneaixoise

there are only 2

9:15 am

origami

A crazy quilt is usually made from scraps with lots of embellishment.

9:15 am

rururocks

ah

9:16 am

chrisk

and generally doesn't have batting between the two layers.

9:16 am

bichon

this word is after the word for being **** to do something

9:16 am

penquis

that is the scrape word...

9:16 am

origami

they speak to my bohemian soul :D

9:17 am

rururocks

my grandmother made beautiful quilts I still have two

9:17 am

penquis

"he only has contusions and ab 8 after his accident"....

9:17 am

penquis

singular though...

9:17 am

origami

that's nice ru!

9:18 am

bichon

ty, butthe first one also means that

9:18 am

penquis

i think the first means the removal of harmful growths and stuff like that...

9:19 am

chrisk

yes - the first ab 8 is generally surgical. the second is accidental - think road rash

9:19 am

MLFAN17

surgical removal of body tissue

9:19 am

MLFAN17
